Setting up Exchange on an Android Phone Not all Android devices are identical. If your screen doesn't look like the pictures below, there is likely another option with similar wording. The screenshots below were all taken on a Motorola Droid 2. Before setting up Exchange access on your phone make sure that:  You can access owa.wm.edu and can login from a desktop or laptop computer (not on your phone).  Your phone is connected to the Internet either via Wi-fi or 3G with a good signal.  You can access www.wm.edu in your phone's browser. After verifying that your phone is connected to the web you can begin the setup process. 1. From the home screen find the button that will let you access your phone's list of applications. 2. Select Settings (the programs are in alphabetical order). Note that your application's icons may look different than those in Figure 1 above.

If you scroll down on the same screen you can select how far back you want mail stored on your phone, (labeled “Sync messages for:” in Figure 8). You can read older mail from your phone regardless of the amount of time selected, but the phone will have to retrieve it from the server first.
